EcoliTox: a web server for toxicity prediction in bacteria

Compound toxicity in bacteria plays a major role in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering as well as in the development of new antibacterial agents. Here, we screened a diversified chemical library of 166 compounds for toxicity in Escherichia coli. The resulting assay data was used to develop a toxicity predictor that we used to assess the toxicity of metabolites throughout the metabolome. We present here EcoliTox server, an E. coli toxicity prediction web server based on QSAR models.
